Autonomous remote fire alerting for your vehicle fleet

SMS alerting in the event of vehicle fire outside operating hours

The Challenge 

Fire protection outside operating hours

At depots, yards, and vehicle halls, vehicles are often left unattended for many hours outside operating times. If a fire breaks out during this time — for example due to a technical fault or overheating equipment such as radio chargers in fire engines — there is no immediate notification to staff or emergency responders without automatic remote alerting. This risk is especially high when vehicles are parked close together, where a fire can quickly spread to neighboring vehicles or nearby buildings. Every minute lost in this window reduces the chance of a fast, effective response.

 

The Solution 

Automatic remote alerting in the event of fire

Our system closes this safety gap with autonomous remote alerting. It operates independently of existing vehicle systems, requires no deep integration into the vehicle's onboard electronics, and can be installed in addition to existing fire detection or suppression systems already in place.

When the fire detector monitoring loop detects a fire, an automatic alert chain is triggered within seconds. The alert can be sent via SMS, email, app, or control center to defined recipients — allowing responsible parties to react early and take appropriate action before a fire spreads to other vehicles or surrounding buildings.

Your benefit

  • Autonomous parallel operation:
    Independently complements existing fire detection or suppression systems without interfering with current safety concepts.
  • Early alerting:
    Helps limit damage to vehicles, buildings, and the rest of the fleet through fast alert forwarding.

Technical highlights:

- Telematics unit with LTE/GSM communication

- Rugged IP68 fire detectors

- Custom cable lengths

- Retrofit available for existing vehicle fleets

Flexible alerting system

In the event of fire, alerts can be sent simultaneously through multiple communication channels to defined recipient groups:

  • SMS notification: Automatic transmission of an alert message by SMS to defined recipients.
  • Email notification: Automated logging via predefined email distribution lists.
  • Smartphone app: Instant push notification through compatible alerting apps.
  • Control center connection: Forwarding of alerts to control centers or existing fleet management systems.
